Bhairitu, I think I'll play around with them wrt emotions. Like if I'm feeling
a heavy emotion, I'll try the kapha pacifying mantra; anger, I'll try the pitta
one; and for fear I'll try the vata pacifying one. Thanks, this is really
practical info.

The first study should be to have each subject practice all three mantras.
What we want to see is the effect of each mantra. With most research they are
just looking at only one mantra. Of course the TMO would object to such a
study but other researchers may not. The subject should also be a meditator as
they will be able to activate the mantra more quickly than someone who isn't.
Each of these mantras also work on different parts of the body
with respect to the dosha. Wake up foggy headed? Clear your head
with with the kapha mantra hoom though if you really want to clear
it try the Ganesh mantra: om gam ganapataye namaha. Upset
stomach? Use the pitta mantra. Constipation? Try the vata mantra.
These are all "open" not secret mantras used in ayurveda.
